Brian Jones (Ph.D. Candidate at the Center for Thomistic Studies) presents his paper "Is the Enlightenment Working? Considerations from Alexis de Tocqueville." In light of recent defenses (e.g. Steven Pinker's "Enlightenment Now!", Jonah Goldberg's "Suicide of the West") and critiques (Patrick Deneen's "Why Liberalism Failed") of enlightenment liberalism, Mr. Jones argues the ultimate fruit of enlightenement liberalism has been the atomization society, leading to a sense of isolation and meaninglessness. Mr. Jones has been published in New Blackfriars, Crisis, Catholic World Report, HPR, and Catholic Social Science Review. This talk was given at the Center for Thomistic Studies on May 4, 2018.
